Description:

The Plague Epidemic, written and directed by Shuji Terayama / music by J. A. Caesar, was performed abroad in Athens, Shibuya, Amsterdam, Brussels and other cities in 1975." Theater is not about transmission, but contagion. The play was an attempt to test the proposition of Altonin Artaud: "Is it possible for a play to be contagious rather than communicative?" As a play without words, the dialogue was expressed by the sound of nails being hammered. The music plays a very important role in such a play, and there are many early Pink Floyd-esque elements that are typical of J.A. Caesar, making this an easy listening collection of theater music.
